 | Company Profile |
Welcome to the flourishing world of Sam Vegetable Colours (P) Ltd. We offer NATURAL DYES for wool, silk, cotton, jute, Hemp, Lenin and other natural fibers. Today, we stand amidst the leading dyed fabric manufacturers and dyed yarns exporter from India. Founded in 1995, as a family run business, the company has been exclusively and continuously working in the field of Natural Dyes. Our sister concern named “Sam-N-Ram” and “Interline exports”, with the same directors, has been taken over by the parent company i.e. Sam Vegetable Colours (P) Ltd. in 2004.
At present, besides selling natural dyes and project consultancy, company also does natural dyeing of various count yarns in commercial dyeing machines in bulk quantity on commission basis and is equipped to supply/export natural dyed fabric & yarn in cone form from its office in Ludhiana. We are tied up for the supply of Natural dyed textile products. We have achieved specialization in the manufacturing of textile dyes.
Founder of the company Sam Vegetable Colours (P) Ltd., Mr. Mahesh Chandra Jain, after resigning from the post of Armament Engineer in Defense ministry, decided to start his own business in 1974. His love, affection & dedication towards nature could not attract him to join his parental business of Gold & Diamond jewellery. He preferred to start Menthol herb cultivation and its distillation. He remained in this natural product business for 20 years.
As soon as in 1994 he came to know about the ban on the use of azo-dyes by Germans, his interest developed to explore our centuries old vegetable dyeing heritage. Initially he faced lot of problems in the identification of pigment bearing vegetations, dyeing processes, as dyeing methods were being transformed by one generation to the next generation. There was no written literature available except some dyed pieces were seen in different museums.
He came to know that the first national seminar on natural dyes has been organized by NHDC at Jaipur in 1989. The first international seminar organized by NHDC at Suraj Kund, New Delhi with collaboration of UNDP in 1993. He started research and development work on eco-friendly dyes under the guidance of Mr. H.S Ansari, chief manager NHDC, Ministry of Textile and Dr. M.I.H Farooqui, Phyto-chemist Department Director and with various renowned bio-& phyto chemists, scientists, technocrats of different technical department & laboratories of India such as NBRI, CIMAP, FRI, I.I.T Delhi etc.
He also participated in different activities of NHDC like appropriate technology & exhibitions etc. Company also participated in workshop organized by NHDC in 1995 held at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi
He dyed few kilograms of cotton yarn by following the different recipes & methods suggested in different articles by the world renowned vegetable dyers such as Mrs. Ann Milner, Mrs. Jenny Dean, Mr. Darrel Bailey & others. He got the dyed yarn weaved and made textile for shirting, Home furnishing, made ups etc. Some of the sample pieces of such textile are still with him.
Fastness properties of dyed yarn & fabric have been tested by S.G.S & Textile Committee of India and fastness was 3 to 5 as per ISO-105. As soon as he planned the production of cotton fabric, demand & pressure from wool industry generated so high that he was compelled to work in wool industry. He left behind his own production of cotton fabric & started work on wool.
While he was doing piece dyeing of shirts and wool for shawls in small dyeing pots in his own house, due to increased work pressure his two sons Mr. Alind k. Jain & Mr. Sajal Jain joined him after graduation from Delhi University.
He temporarily set up an exclusive natural dyeing unit at Katmandu (Nepal) and one at Jaipur (1998-2000) for dyeing of the yarn for carpet manufactures till they were able to learn and run the unit on their own. He was not thinking of commercial benefits rather he was all the time concentrated to develop dyes in such a feasible form so that dyes can be used in modern dyeing machines globally i.e. to avoid the use of different mordent for different shades, to avoid double dyeing (Topping on one shade by another dye to get new shades). Any new shade should come by just addition of any dye to the three basic colours i.e. Red, Yellow and Blue. Natural dyes should have the status - dissolve dip & dye.
By his own practical experience he found that in absence of direct Blue, direct Green & direct Black, natural dyes can not be usable & feasible in commercial dyeing machines. He started working on this aspect. He dyed hundreds & hundreds of loop by changing dye combinations & with different fermenting ways as done by our ancient dyers in cottage & craft sector.
During our most expensive & time taking work we lost our heart at many occasions but due to our few buyers and impatience in the market to know about this field boosted our moral by sending us lot of letters, faxes, e-mails etc. kept us working in this field.
Ultimately & fortunately, we got success and had developed fermented dyes with simple dyeing methods as detailed in our product profile and indicative shades in our Shade Card.
We found that quality dyeing of different count wool in big quantity was only possible in dyeing machines as demanded by our respected buyer who has established his business with our consultation from last few years. Therefore, Mr. Alind k. Jain shifted to Ludhiana for dyeing different count yarns in big quantities. Now we are in the position to supply dyed yarn with natural dyes in cone form. He is also capable to supply natural dyed products under tie ups with textile manufacturers.
